with Steam Whistle Marinade

Posted on July 12, 2016

While working with Steam Whistle Brewery on the Chill & Grill Contest I developed a marinade that was perfectly suited for beef. I just had to try the marinade right away, so I made Eye of Round Roast with Steam Whistle Marinade. The roast was succulent and flavorful. I served it with some smoky cheddar and horseradish mashed potatoes and, of course, an ice cold bottle of Steam Whistle Pilsner. I reserved a little of the marinade to add to the gravy too, this provided a surprising flavor boost.

Perfect for beef

Posted on June 12, 2016

A pilsner, like Steam Whistle, is the perfect addition to any marinade. The acidity in the liquids of your marinade will soften the connective tissues in the meat you are marinating, making the meal not only more flavorful, but even more tender. Using a lighter beer, like Steam Whistle, helps keep things light as well. Your meal won't feel weighted down by the marinade you use. Try it on a beef roast, or lamb chops tonight.

with Garlic Yogurt Sauce

Tunisian Smoked Lamb with Garlic Yogurt Sauce is spicy and exotic. The smoky flavor transforms this dish, bringing you back to the days when food was cooked over an open flame. My grandparents love visiting Tunisia and rave about the food and the décor every time they come back. I thought it was time to visit myself, but settled on making a grilled dish similar to what you would find in a Tunisian household instead of taking a flight. You’ll be transported too when you try this dish!

Grilled Rice Balls

Posted on April 14, 2016

Yaki Onigiri is a very popular snack or takeout food made from rice formed into triangle or cylinder shapes, served wrapped with nori (seaweed) paper. Yaki means grilled or cooked To celebrate Rice Ball day on April 19th, I needed to try my hand at such a popular dish. They turned out fantastic, and I quickly got a handle on forming the sticky rice into a shape that resembled the pictures of Onigiri that I have seen. Traditionally Onigiri is stuffed with pickles or other sour things like pickled Umeboshi (Japanese salt plums), salted salmon, kombu (pickled seaweed), pickled tuna flakes, or salted Pollock. Feel free to substitute any of these for the chicken if you want to go super traditional.

In A Fresh Homemade Pita

Making homemade pitas is awesome, they're tasty and go great with Greek Marinated Chicken. I loaded mine up with some homemade tatziki sauce, salsa and loads of grilled veggies like peppers and onions. This was one happy, and fresh meal!
